Broccoli - It comes from the Mediterranean and gives a lot of nutrition per serving with very few calories.
How to chose the best Broccoli?
- The darker the Broccoli, the better it is, the dark green color usually indicates higher nutrient level.
For maximum nutrition it should be eaten raw, steamed, stir-fried and boiling should be avoided since it can lose upto 50 % of its nutrients after just boiling for 5 minutes.
Let's look into the benefits . A half cup i.e, 78 g of steamed Broccoli would give the following benefits:
1) It supports eye health : It contains 24% of the daily value of Vitamin A which supports vision.
2)It contains 10% Daily Fiber which helps in keeping the digestive tract healthy.
